Mexico 2009

San Cristobal, Mexico

The team returned from Southern MX; weary but blessed. We had some difficulty when we landed in Mexico City with customs; almost did not get all the suitcases of meds & supplies on the plane for the flight to San Cristibal. After a long discussion that seemed to just go around in circles; the customs agents became very friendly and helpful. (God is always at work) We arrived safely and the rest of the trip went rather smoothly.

We stayed in the town of San Cristibal and drove each day to a different village to set up the clinic. The villages were Oxchuc, Chenalo, Chanal, and Yashtinin. Each day between 150-200 people were treated. At the first three clinics the host Church was able to show the Jesus Film in the people’s native dialect. In Yashtinin the Church was not allow to show the Film because of strife within the goverment; although they were able to talk about Jesus. In Oxchuc most of the people professed to be Christian. At the last three villages between 8 to 10 people each day prayed with PC team members to receive Jesus as their savior. Many seeds were also planted because of the Jesus Film; the people really watch intensely. Each team member also had an impact on people as they served and loved them. The local Pastors made good contacts; and doors were open to them in each of the villages because of the clinics. In Chenalo an Atheistic government official was so pleased with the clinic that she ask the Pastor if he would be able to teach classes to the community that would help prevent rape, and drug & alcohol addiction. What a blessing it was to serve the people of Southern MX.

Please continue to pray for Project Compassion and join us on a trip sometime.
